IDV ÖZEL Bilkent Middle School – Turkey
The Özel Bilkent Schools (Pre-school, Primary, Middle, and High Schools) are part of the private education sector in Turkey, which provides a large portion of its quality education. The word ‘private’ when applied to schools covers those institutions which are foundation schools, as well as schools owned by individual proprietors. The Özel Bilkent Schools are not-for-profit and part of the Ihsan Dogramaci Foundation, governed by a School Board which sets the policy and budget. The Özel Bilkent Schools do not resemble a traditional international school profile with a multi-ethnic population. They have mainly Turkish nationality students, with a relatively small number of children from other backgrounds. Although they work within the Turkish national education system’s framework, they are fully committed to international mindedness and to broadening students’ understanding and commitment to a multi-cultural perspective.
